EU observers want to see SOPs that Mingo used to prepare spreadsheet

Mar 13, 2020 News, Source - https://www.kaieteurnewsonline...prepare-spreadsheet/

The European Union Election Observation Mission wants to play a role in helping to verify the Statements of Polls for Region Four.

The EU has written GECOM’s Returning Officer, Clairmont Mingo, asking to help verify Region Four’s SoPs.

The request was made yesterday by the mission to Clairmont Mingo, Returning Officer of Region Four, Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM).

The request came as criticisms were raised in some quarters over the increasing raised voices of the observers’ mission.

At least one GECOM Commissioner, Vincent Alexander, believes that overseas actors should not be interfering.

However, Alexander Matus, Deputy Chief Observer, of the Mission, in his letter to Mingo, indicated interest in examining SoPs.

“Pursuant to Section 4 (1) and (3) of the General Elections (Observers) Act, as well as Section 6,7, 8 and 9 of the Administrative Arrangement between the Delegation of the European Union in Guyana and the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, I am hereby requesting to examine the Statement of Polls based on which you have prepared the spreadsheet of results before the ascertainment of results for Region Four is completed,” the letter of request said.

The EU would have fielded one of the biggest overseas mission for the March 2 elections, hailed as the one of the most critical in the history of Guyana.

At stakes for the incoming government is the control of the oil and gas sector.

The Coalition, led by the incumbent President, David Granger, believes it has won.

So does the main Opposition- the People’s Progressive Party/Civic.
It has been 12 days now since the elections with laws requiring a 15-day deadline for the announcement of results.

There has not been any because of challenges to Region Four. Regions One to Ten, excluding Region Four, have been announced with the People’s Progressive Party/Civic, which lost in 2015, in a lead with over 50,000.

BREAKING: Election results crisis deepens in Guyana

Posted by: Denis Chabrol in Diplomatic Corps, Elections, News, Politics March 13, 2020 1 Comment

Western diplomats leave the Returning Office of Region Four.

This story is being updated…

More controversy enveloped Guyana’s general election results, resulting in a walkout by western diplomats from the tabulation process at the Region Four Returning Office.

Returning Officer for Region Four, Clairmont Mingo Friday morning began using Statements of Poll to tabulate results for the March 2, 2020 general elections, ahead of a contempt of court proceedings.

At 10:07 am, top western diplomats from Britain, United States, Canada and the European Union left the Returning Office. “Yes, we are leaving. We’ll put out a statement,” Canada’s High Commissioner to Guyana, Lilian Chattejee told Demerara Waves Online News/News Talk Radio Guyana.

Nigel Hinds of Change Guyana political party accused the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) of being complicit in stealing the elections and raping the democracy by inflating votes for A Partnership for National Unity+Allliance For Change (APNU+AFC). Hinds said that a clerk, in the presence of the Returning Officer, continued to read the purported results without entertaining objections.

“They refused to give us a viewing of the Statements of Poll they are reading from. They have constructed that to increase their votes by whatever is needed ,” Hinds said. He said, “it’s not an authentic Statement of Poll they are reading from. ”

Sources close to the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) say after a more-than-half-hour meeting with representatives of political parties and observers, Mingo began using the Statements of Poll.

Of the 879 polling stations, 421 have already been tabulated and 458 are remaining. The Citizenship Initiative’s Rondha-Ann Lam earlier Friday said that the Returning Officer had decided to restart the process rather than continue.

Mingo and others of GECOM are expected to personally appear in the High Court in a contempt of court proceedings brought against them for failing to use the Statements of Poll but instead using a pre-prepared spreadsheet on Thursday.

That tabulation process was suspended on Thursday due to strenuous objections, paving the way for GECOM Chairman Claudette Singh to obtain and study the Chief Justice’s decision on the substantive matter.

Police have cordoned off streets around the Region Four Returning Officer’s Office located in the Ashmin’s Building at High and Hadfield streets. GECOM is no longer using the front door but a western side entrance to the building.

Unlike Thursday, diplomats were allowed to observe the tabulation process.

THESE DUMB AHOLES ARE BETOND REPAIR BUT THEIR DONKEY SUPPORTERS WILL CONTINUE TO BRAY!!!

Back to square one.

Guyanese have to do what others have done worldwide. Peaceful protests to end this charade and the ABC to no longer recognize Mingo and Lowenfield. This has to be done in very strong terms.

Jagdeo and the PPP should not stop PPP supporters from taking to the streets in peaceful protests. Shut down the country until valid SOP's are used.

FK Granger and his goons at GECOM !!!!

@ Sean

Let the process proceed to a conclusion.

Then one can formulate her/his views and then take matter henceforth.

That scrawly woman should be spending her time in a gym rather than being involved in illegal activities removing SOPs.

At first look I thought she lives in a pig sty.

GECOM Chair intervenes to regularise Region Four declaration

– tally to resume at 9AM today

Mar 13, 2020 News, Source - https://www.kaieteurnewsonline...on-four-declaration/

Chair of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), Justice (ret’d) Claudette Singh, yesterday suspended the tabulation of votes from the Region 4 district.

According to reports, the suspension had occurred in an effort to clarify the ruling handed down by Chief Justice, Roxane George-Wiltshire. It was stated that the Chair was waiting to peruse the written judgment that was made by the CJ.

By last evening, the Guyana Elections Commission announced that the tabulation would restart today at 09:00 hours.

GECOM Chair, Justice (ret’d) Claudette Singh

On Wednesday, the Chief Justice issued an order for the Returning Officer (RO) for District Four, Clairmont Mingo, to return to the legally prescribed procedure for tabulating the votes for Region Four after she deemed the previously declaration to be unlawful on the grounds that the tabulation used to arrive at it was in breach of the law.

However, when the process restarted on Thursday morning, the RO sought out to use a spreadsheet, which was objected to by all political parties, except the APNU+AFC Coalition.

Opposition-appointed Commissioner, Sase Gunraj, said, “The RO, Mingo, is refusing to use or present Statements of Poll to ascertain the total number of votes cast in favour of each contesting party.

“He is instead attempting to use a spreadsheet, which is a clear breach of the tenets of Sec 84(1) of the Representation of the People’s Act, Cap 3:01.”

The CJ handed down a consequential order that is in the best interest of transparency, but taking into consideration the need for urgency, the RO is to decide whether the process of ascertaining the total number of votes cast in favour of each list in the district by adding up the votes recorded in favour of the list in accordance with the Statement of Polls delivered, should be restarted or continued.

WHAT A JOKE - THE CJ IS A MAD WOMAN 

Look at the evil in this woman's face. She would make Satan shiver in fear. Nasty old bitch.

Spread Sheet Protection for Region 4

That is a very strong statement. If Mingo and Lowenfield rig, PNC and Granger are frigged. 

BREAKING NEWS: GECOM CAUGHT RIGGING NUMBERS IN FAVOR OF APNU/AFC BUT CONTRARY TO ORIGINAL SOP SIGNED BY PRESIDING OFFICER

@ Sean ...

All external organizations are unified plus are being very pointed with their views for credible results for Region 4 in compliance with the Statement of Polls - SOPs.

Bye bye, OAS. Don't let the door hit you on your way out!

If that fool had one ounce of brain, she would not say bye bye to the OAS. The OAS do not need any thing from Guyana you fool. The water will stop flow you arss hole.

Interesting to see who will get hit by the door, if Region 4 results do not confirm to the proper legal process and adhere to the SOPs.

@Rochelle

you sound like Burnham...are you related?

He was the master thiefman for lots of year

WHITHER RO MINGO?

I left the Courtroom of Hon. Chief Justice Roxane George about half an hour ago, with a clear understanding!

She stated, quite firmly, that the Returning Officer was required to display, for the benefit of persons present during the ascertaining process, the copies of the Statements of Poll upon which he was relying.

@Former Member: That imbecile fool parading as Rochelle is a PNC supporter who encourages fraud and violence upon the country. He/She believes that Guyana belongs to the PNC and its supporters and none else and they should suppress the people at all costs. Granger has created a Western Mugabe.

I can't believe that APNU/AFC is this dotish enuff to rigg in place view.

Its the OAS Electoral Observation Mission that is leaving.  Interestingly they admitted relying on PPP statements of poll.  Moreover, the press statement does not give a release time as there have been recent developments.  GECOM will use its SOPs to tabulate the results.  Surely, the OAS observation mission doesn't want GECOM to use PPP supplied SOPs.

A BIG THANK YOU RAY. 

Roxanne George is to be blamed for this also. Anil and Mendes asked for further detailed instructions realizing this will happen. She refused and went into the lecture.

The Statements of Poll - SOPs - are documents/information available to all organizations, individuals, etc..

Statements of Poll - SOPs - are NOT generated by the PPPC --- they are prepared by and distributed by GECOM.

In these tense times in Guyana, the postings of shitabatty Sean, Nehru and Princess Swampwater calling for invasion by America and on Trump for assistance are amusing. All 3 are supporters of a communist cabal in Guyana that hates America.

Nehru cusses America and Trump daily. Calls Americans "pigs" and "dogs". Now he wants America and Trump to help he po lil communist band to regain power.

Shitabatty sean screaming for invasion. America got Corona to worry about. Trump couldn't care less about y'all. America got cheap oil now, got their own reserves and the world is overflowing in oil, rice, bananas etc. 

50+ years of sheer incompetence and being unable to run your own damn country. Look at the degradation of Guyana from colonial times to today presided over by  both these parties. Massive FAIL.

Suh stop your antiman screams for "invasion" and always relying on the white man to solve your problems while simultaneously cussing he and lavishing in he country.

Let the people count the votes and see what happens.

@Former Member: I was in the car driving home and could not listen to all the goings-on. Can you tell if there are any legal proceedings going on to stop the process or the process of counting continues or ???. Thanks
